We subscribe to an email alert called EarthSky News, which keeps us updated with celestial happenings, so early on Tuesday morning we were up just before dawn to see four planets of the solar system visible by eye.
Clever new camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ70) managed to capture two of them on film, the view from our front doorstep, looking east along the south wall past the eventual conservatory roof. Venus and Jupiter (Mars is there too, but very close to Jupiter). Mercury is low down on the horizon, lost in the rising dawn.
Also this week there has been a fabulous full moon, known as a Hunter's moon at this time of year. Huge and bright, right through the night.
